I totally agree: “Fog Raw” is way fresher than any basketball-cum-rappers to drop a load on ’em in the ’90s. (Remember Shaq-Fu? Yikes.) I love the Africa medalion and kente cloth pants on emcee “Velvet Rope,” and the old ladies dancing throughout in the background are fabulous. “Ice-O” is so corny it’s fresh. The best thing about this video, though, may be that this faux-trio knows how bad they are, which makes them kind of good.
